    On May 18, Huang Mingyuan led his army to Yingkou Port by boat. At this time, it had been a full year since Huang Mingyuan led his army to leave Liaodong City and rush to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion.

    During this year, Huang Mingzhen led the Liaodong armies to face the counterattack of the Goguryeo people and struggled to support them. After several twists and turns, he finally secured the last Sui base area east of the Liaohe River.

    Since the main force of the Sui army left Liaodong, the Goguryeo people who almost suffered the disaster of annihilation breathed a sigh of relief.  Huang Mingyuan's power made the entire Goguryeo breathless. Since the second Sui-Gao war, Goguryeo talents have truly seen the invincible fighting power of the Sui army. The always proud Goguryeo army no longer despises the Sui army.  At the end of the battle, the Goguryeo army almost became frightened when they heard about the Sui army, and retreated when they saw the Sui army.

    Fortunately, the Sui people were in civil strife and had too much time to take care of themselves, so the main force retreated.

    At this time, seeing that half of Liaodong was still in the hands of the Sui army, the Goguryeo people were more concerned about food than fighting, so they prepared to take the opportunity to recapture Liaodong City and catch the Sui army by surprise.

    Especially the northern nobles headed by Yuan Taizuo believed that this was the best time to recapture Liaodong.  The Sui army's morale was low due to civil strife. Once it launched an attack on the Sui army, it would be overwhelming, annihilating the main force of the Sui army in one fell swoop, and winning the victory.

    The Goguryeo army, which had suffered repeated defeats, was in urgent need of a victory to restore its position. Therefore, the upper class nobles and the military kept in contact with each other to encourage the dispatch of troops.

    In Goguryeo, the power struggle intensified rapidly. General Eulji Mundeok, who had been defeated many times, was deprived of military power, and many of his old cadres were transferred from their original positions.  Although the apparent reason was Ulji Mundeok's loss of troops and territory, everyone in the court knew that it was the exposure of Ulji Mundeok's identity that caused him to lose the trust of King Gowon of Yeongyang.  Coupled with the criticism from Yuan Taizuo and others, he completely lost his military power.

    After Eulji Mundeok stepped down, the Lord Hwa faction lost its leader and military power and was pushed to the political margins.

    "The main combat factions such as Yuan Taizuo lost their opponents and clamored one after another, constantly using their strength and influence to intimidate and instigate King Gaoyuan of Yingyang.

    Faced with the clamor and madness in the court, Ulji Mundeok, who was still clear-headed, wrote many times to suggest that Gao Yuan make peace with the Sui army. Even if he paid some price, as long as he could truce and eliminate the troops, it would be good.  Goguryeo's national and people's strength could not bear to fight anymore.

    It¡¯s a pity that no one believed the spy Eulji Munduk¡¯s words.

    The truce with the Sui Dynasty was not a simple matter.

    On the one hand, Gao Yuan was unwilling to lose the land in Liaodong, and on the other hand, Yuan Taizuo and other Goguryeo generals with real power had too much influence, and Gao Yuan himself could not suppress the other party's wishes.

    On Dal, Eulji Mundeok's ally, also believed that "the decisive battle between Goguryeo and the Great Sui Dynasty is inevitable. Instead of facing a well-prepared and well-prepared Sui army, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to completely drive the Sui army back to the west bank of the Liao River and rebuild  Liaohe defense line." Agreeing to send troops.  Goguryeo completely lost its last chance to make good relations with the Sui Dynasty.

    In the end, Goguryeo declared war on the Sui Dynasty again, dragging itself into war again.

    In early June of the eighth year of Daye, Gao Yuan appointed Moli Zhiyuan Taizuo as the commander-in-chief and Wen Da as the deputy general. He commanded 230,000 troops, falsely claiming to be 500,000, and attacked Liaodong City in three groups.

    Yuan Taizuo commanded a main force of 100,000 as the North Route Army, which set out from Fuyu City to attack Gaimou City; Wenda commanded an 80,000-strong army as the South Route Army, which set out from Wugu City to attack Baiyan City; Yuan Taizuo's brother Yuan Maha  He commanded 50,000 troops as the middle army, and set out from the inner city to attack Mudi City.

    Three groups of soldiers and horses will send troops at the same time and advance in a coordinated manner. It is expected that the Sui army will be encircled in Liaodong City in August.

    These 230,000 soldiers and horses are Goguryeo's last mobile troops, and they also bear the hope of Goguryeo.

    Goguryeo falsely claimed that an army of 500,000 was invading, which immediately put great pressure on the Sui army who stayed behind.  Everyone, including Yang Xu, Da Xihao and others, believed that the land of Liaodong was already in danger. Instead of being defeated one by one by the opponent, it was better to retreat to Liaodong City or retreat to the west bank of the Liao River to wait for reinforcements.

    Huang Mingzhen firmly opposed this. He believed that not only could they not retreat, but they must also block the opponent outside the Sui army's control area.  The rule of the Sui army was not stable. Once Goguryeo entered the hinterland, the accumulated power of the Goguryeo people alone would cause turmoil in various cities.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? will be guarding Liaodong, so he will be well guarded, even if one city is missing, it will not be called a good defense.

    In the end, Huang Mingzhen decided to stick to it despite all the opinions.

    At this time, Huang Mingzhen was shouldering the mission of the country and his family. Faced with panic and retreat from top to bottom, he did not dare to panic.

    Da Xihao and others were also moved by Huang Mingzhen, and expressed their intention to coexist and die with Liaodong.

    Faced with Goguryeo's aggressiveness, Huang Mingzhen began to calmly arrange a counterattack.

      In fact, the strength of the Sui army in Liaodong was not weak. In addition to the more than 10,000 elite Pingzhou troops under Huang Mingzhen, there were also 120,000 government soldiers and more than 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers, making the total army nearly 150,000.

    These soldiers are the first batch of strong soldiers to enter Liaodong and have gone through bloody battles.  Even the more than 20,000 Goguryeo soldiers who surrendered were all veterans who had fought hard in the battle formations.

    This army of more than 100,000 people is the confidence that Huang Mingzhen dares to choose to stick to.

    Huang Mingzhen ordered the deputy general manager Shi Xiang and Hu Benlang general Huang Mingpu to supervise 30,000 troops to guard Gaimou City, facing the enemy forces in Xincheng across the river, and blocking the enemy at Taizi River.

    He also ordered General Hu Benlang, Gao Nie and Li Jin, to lead more than 10,000 troops each to station in Baiyan City and Muti City to wait for reinforcements.

    Huang Mingzhen himself is preparing to lead more than 80,000 headquarters and more than 20,000 surrendered troops to concentrate his forces to encircle the Goguryeo troops eastward to destroy Yuan Maha.

    In Huang Mingzhen¡¯s view, it is better to take the initiative than to defend passively.  Yuan Maha is the weakest on this route, but it is responsible for the function of connecting the three armies.  Once the Yuanmaha road is broken, Yuan Taizuo in the north and Wenda in the south will be completely separated, and it will be impossible to encircle them again.

    The Sui army could even attack the domestic city again and completely divide Goguryeo into two.

    Of course, this was a risky move. According to Huang Mingzhen's arrangement, in order to concentrate his forces, except for Liaodong City and Jian'an City, the Sui army was almost undefended in the rest of the hinterland.  Defeat in any of the three directions may lead to the Goguryeo army marching in and losing everything, with disastrous consequences.

    At this time, Huang Mingzhen had no choice but to gamble.

    No one would have thought that Huang Mingzhen would take the initiative.  In other words, Huang Mingzhen took the initiative to attack when he had a defensive advantage, which in itself was a departure from military principles.

    Huang Mingzhen led his troops upstream along the Daliang River, fifty or sixty miles away from Muti City. Huang Mingzhen ordered the main force of his troops to hide in the nearby mountains, waiting for orders. He also ordered Meng Chenqi to lead thousands of cavalry to the east as reinforcements.  Lure the Goguryeo people into pursuit.

    Huang Mingzhen also ordered Shi Xiang, Gao Nie, and Li Jin to defend the city and ensure that it was not lost.

    A huge hunting and anti-hunting battle has officially begun.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
